[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people saying $1k is too high don't have dogs. If the dog had to be sedated and have x-rays or other scans it can add up. More so if they had to go to the emergency vet. And if it is a large dog.[/quote]But what was wrong with the dog that it had to go to the Vet? After the accident did the dog have to be carried home, was the dog bleeding? And the fact that nothing was found wrong with the dog is what makes me think the bill was high.

Are we in outer space here? This is the pet forum. If you don’t have a pet, don’t respond. Yes, I’m making the assumption that these “why did you go to the vet?” posters don’t have dogs.

I am so sorry this happened to you OP. It’s a tough one because you don’t want to go to war with a neighbor but this is obviously her responsibility and in a perfect world she should have been very proactive about paying bills, checking in etc. What does DH think about it? Do you have an HOA president whom you can trust? News of the accident will surely go around the neighborhood and people will talk... if and when neighbors find out she hasn’t offered to pay, she will be ostracized.

[/quote]No I'm not in outer space. Anyway, I don't have a dog anymore but when I was a kid we had one that got hit hard by a van. The dog yelped and then ran into the house and was shaking. Even though we looked after the dog and had previously taken the dog to the vet to be spayed, we simply left the dog alone in the backyard to see how it did. Lo and behold a few hours later the dog was running around like normal. Maybe if the original poster had done this they might have saved themselves $1000 seeing as how nothing was found wrong with the dog.

And yes I still have pets, two cats.[/quote]

Don’t know where you came from and how old you are, but today I’d consider that animal abuse. If a dog gets hit by a car they go to a vet. If a person gets hit by a car they go to the ER. [/quote]

Wrong on all counts.
